 Decent September 15, 2008

I bought one of these last week. I loaded the drivers and software without a problem. The software that came with is minimally useful, I mainly used it for testing the camera.
The picture quality is OK. Its not outstanding, but for the price, its decent.
It worked great in normal daylight indoors and at night with normal room lighting. The picture was clear. I used it with MSN chat and the other party could see and hear me clearly.
At night, in the dark, it worked beautifully. I had all the lights off. Just me and the light from a laptop LCD. When I viewed myself, the picture was clear. When I viewed the rest of the darkened room, the picture was VERY clear. It worked best when I switched to black and white mode. I could see the cat walking in the hallway with no visible light at all. I put in in the window and very clearly viewed the trees and other objects outside that I couldn't even see with my naked eye.
The camera has LED's on it and it works very well in low light conditions, but best in black and white mode.
The only drawbacks are the microphone and the LED's. The microphone is crap. Doesn't work very well at all. Not much more to say about that.
You can't shut off the LED's in low light mode. They function automatically. This would not be a problem for most people. The LED's themselves emit only a dim red light in darkness, but rendered the camera useless for my software experiment which requires light from only 1 source. I couldn't shut off the LED's short of covering them up with tape. Then there was a grid pattern on the image.
I was unable to use the camera for my software experiment, but it works fine for everyday use. I used it in conjunction with a cheap microscope to get decent pictures of some small objects. Very nice.
Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. Especially for night vision.
Not bad but not great. Decent.
Love this camera but there is a problem... July 31, 2008

I love this webcam, but I just have the problem of not being able to find the software. There is no way you can get it to work without the software and then the cd you get for it is a mini cd and it doesnt work for slide in disc cd rom drives. Hence why I took a star off but I do think its a great webcam and the LED lights work great!

I bought this camera almost a year a go and it works fine, but the lack of documentation makes it hard to find Linux drivers. I can't even find the manufactures name on the packaging or CD.
Okay, Overall. June 4, 2008

It's a bit different from your usual camera, fairly decent, I'd say. easy settings, easy installation, quality is fair enough. basically, you get what you pay for. best of all, you can use it in the dark, unlike most webcams.
Very average performance May 29, 2008

I should first say, beware of too much of rave reviews... always suspicious. Especially from people who only have 2 reviews in their profiles...
This little cam didn't look so bad at first. The look and feel is very boxy, so it's not the prettiest out there, but I thought I'd give it a try. I don't know what the other guy was testing, but this doesn't shed light compared to a logitech or to the IPEVO pov webcam. Maybe a little below a creative.
The light may have seemed fine to him, but I did testing in different conditions: indirect sunlight, direct sunlight (partial on my face, then all of me), bulb light, office light, and rainy day light.
Conclusion: this camera is no good on contrast ratio and movement. The second you move, everything gets choppy. When you change lighting, let's say from natural light to office light, the white balance is slightly off.
The night vision: it's outperforming a creative and others, but honestly, it's not like it's crystal clear. After thinking about why I bought it, I thought, do you really want to be staring at your monitor for a long time in low lighting?? that's very bad for your eyes.
The microphone: obviously unidirectional. You're in front of it, and the sound is ok-ish, but you move 3 feet diagonally, and the other person can barely, very barely here you.
Overall conclusion: there are better values out there.
